as for rogers, are you really going to just soley based on TDs given up? i don't believe he's been only burned for 2, but i'll leave that alone. what about his large cushion that he gives to each of opponent allowing them to catch anywhere between 8-12 yards at will (even in 4th and 8 situations...i remind you...)
I mean, lets be honest. rogers has not shown an ability to people, that is prevent them from going for bigs days when he's defending.
I will attempt to locate stats for rogers, as i not have hard ones at my disposal. Do you?
I'll get some hard ones, but seriously, the secondary gets a bad rap SPECIFICALLY for the play of one Kenny Wright and less-so Mike Rumph. They abuse Kenny Wright and then the whole secondary looks bad.
TheMalcolmConnection 10-31-2006, 03:39 PM Overall though, Rogers is an EXCELLENT tackling corner. If they show the pass in the flats, he is up on that in seconds. I didn't even see Chris Gamble do that.
BrunellMVP? 10-31-2006, 03:41 PM i'd appreciate it...you are probably right (re:wright and rumph), however I still believe rogers gives up far too many first downs via his cushion...i also remember him giving up TDs, but i could be wrong. I'm not sure who tracks these stats? have to remind myself that he's only in his second year. (but also that he's a top 10 pick)
Fan4Life 10-31-2006, 03:41 PM Finally a realist. hate to admit it tho but I see it your way MVP.
SmootSmack 10-31-2006, 03:43 PM Well, as has been mentioned, playing on the other side of Springs will help Rogers immensely. It did last year. And, unfortunately, people tend to compare Rogers to Smoot. And Smoot is put on a higher pedestal by a lot of people just because he's no longer a Redskin. So he's seen as yet another stud we let get away. But if you look at the numbers, Smoot's really aren't better than Rogers' and Carlos hasn't embarrassed the organization with any extracurricular activities. 'LOS SMACK!
dmek25 10-31-2006, 03:43 PM malcolm, your logic is flawed. sure, i agree that rogers is a very good tackler. with that being said, he always has about a 10 yard cushion so completing passes in front of him is childs play. i wish there was a stat for that. 10 yard passes keep drives alive. something mark brunell knows nothing about
TheMalcolmConnection 10-31-2006, 03:46 PM I'm not going to blame Carlos for the cushion he gives. Once Springs comes back and all is right in the defensive universe, then we'll see how he fares. The cushion he gives has to be due to GW telling him to give it because he doesn't trust Archuleta to make the tackle.
BrunellMVP? 10-31-2006, 03:50 PM sure it helps to play opposite springs...but lets but we really aren't playing teams with only 1 good WR...as i listed bf, i see problems across the board. It should be easier for the safety to cheat over to help out, but we've not been getting sound play there all year. could change with springs, but that remains to be seen, as the colts really are a good indicator (anomoly- I hope). I'm really at a loss, i expect much more (as we all did).

Fine, I'll clarify.
Romo looked good in his first NFL start aganist a team that couldn't convert on 3rd downs, dropped TD catches and fumbled the ball. Real solid Carolina team there. I gave props to their only decent option: Smith.
The Bucs are terrible, Gradkowski isn't lighting the world on fire anymore.
McNabb and the Eagles played against crappy teams and are now playing real teams...result = 3 straight losses and a QB that's going to take more risky chances to try to win = more INT's.
The Giants don't particularly worry me. Their not a fanatstic team. They're playing great D currently but it won't last. It never does with them. Don't discount division games and home field advantage.
The Saints are average. They looked like crap versus the Ravens sans offensive coordinator. Their defense is terrible. The offense is actually good. Terrible D + good O = average team.
The Rams? Real scary defense there nowadays. They might win but I' not betting on them.
The Redskins have had time to sit back and identify problems, work on those issues and rest up for a decent second half + 1 game run. I'm not predicting a 9 - 0 record but I see more wins than losses. 6 - 3 down the stretch to finish 8 - 8. Sorry, I like being a fan(atic). Being a follower for over two decades has give me the ability to be unreasonably hopeful and I like being obnoxiously optimistic versus down-troddenly pessimistic.
BrunellMVP? 10-31-2006, 03:51 PM do you really think its a lack of faith in Archuleta or perhaps a lack of faith in both players?
